On a recent trip for school supplies I spotted some questionable toys marketed toward children that to me seemed somewhat gross and not really very appropriate.The first one I noticed was a product called Poo-Dough ... where you can make your own poo that "looks like the real thing".

Next to the Poo-Dough was the Fart Piano that makes fart, belch, and vomits sounds.How about The Ugglys ... The Gross Electronic Pup?

Not only did I find gross toys but I also found gross candy!

Box of Boogers ... "Tangy Gummy Boogies that Look and Feel Real". Yuck ... yuck ... yuck.Leave a comment and let me know what you think of these types of toys (and candy). Is it alright for young children to play with them?

I made this letter sorting activity for our apple theme. You can print the patterns on cardstock paper ... cut them out and laminate them. I attached the two apple trees to baskets but you can use whatever container that you have available.Children choose a letter apple and determine if the letter is an uppercase or lowercase letter. They then put the apple in the correct basket as labeled by the apple tree.You can see a video of this activity here or by clicking below:
